Description

What was love like during Colonial America? The enduring love letters of John and Abigail Adams provide an insightful picture of 18th-century American life in the Boston area and beyond. These intimate letters also reveal the intellectually and emotionally fulfilling relationship between them that lasted 54 years and withstood historical upheavals, long periods apart, and personal tragedies. Their iconic personalities come to life as actors from the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum read a selection of letters and reveal, in the words of John and Abigail Adams, their teasing humor and their undying love and respect for each other. Tickets also includes a tasting of new Fixx Chocolates created by Nicole Coady formerly head Pastry Chef at Finale Desserterie & Bakery. Each program also includes a brief history and explanation of the significance of chocolate around Valentine’s Day along with a choice of sparkling wine or Cabernet Sauvignon to toast this romantic holiday. $35.
